He may not have enough to do that tho. Some folks only have 4Gbs or |
| 20 |
less still. That won't be enough for LOo. Heck, my 16Gbs wasn't enough |
| 21 |
at one time. I had to either let it be on HDD or set it to a higher |
| 22 |
amount than the default half. |

I also tested the time difference once before, it didn't really make |
| 25 |
much difference. It just saves wear on a drive is all. |
